Chapter 469 You Were Once Her Anchor
“As for you, you were by her side, time and again, especially when she was most vulnerable. Regardless of
how she feels about you now…” Dylan continued gravely.
“You were once her anchor!” Dylan emphasized in a heavy tone.
Irwin furrowed his brows, contemplating the weight of Dylan’s words.
Indeed, he had a point.
Given the dynamics between him and Natalie, was he any less deserving of condemnation than Cedric?
“Keep an eye on Clyde’s people,” Irwin repeated, his voice turning even colder as he contemplated the
past.
Whatever happened, Natalie must not discover the truth about their history.
However, Dylan appeared even more serious as he said, “Sir, you know how Mr. Yarbrough’s people are. If
we intervene behind the scenes, I’m afraid it would be…!”
It didn’t take a genius to figure out the implications of Dylan’s words.
Clyde’s people were in Wexford all year round and had an extensive network. If Natalie instructed them to
find something, any information she sought would be swiftly obtained.
If there were any interference, a powerful man like Clyde would immediately notice, and it would backfire
on Irwin.
Irwin’s frustration intensified upon hearing Dylan’s caution. He rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the
emerging headache.
“So, what do you suggest?”
“We should approach Ms. Walker,” Dylan advised.
Natalie?
To dissuade her from digging further?
Undoubtedly, she must have sensed something between him and Cedric. Her previous restraint in further
investigation might have been due to her absence in Wexford and her desire to remain unentangled with
Cedric.

But circumstances had changed!
“I think that man won’t just stand by and let her stay at your side. He’s probably aware of Ms. Walker’s recent actions. So, he’s likely more anxious than you are,” Dylan remarked, not mentioning Cedric’s name
directly due to the look in Irwin’s eyes.
Irwin remained silent.
Dylan was right.
Even though Irwin had taken Natalie away from Cedric just yesterday, it was clear to him that someone like Cedric wouldn’t simply allow Natalie to be near him without taking notice or action.
Now that he knew about Natalie’s interaction with Clyde’s associates, Cedric would undoubtedly know
about it soon.
“So, you’re suggesting we hold off for now?” Irwin raised an eyebrow
“Exactly. If Ms. Walker finds out you’re actively preventing her investigation, it will only fuel her determination to dig deeper,” Dylan elaborated.
In Dylan’s view, whether it was Irwin or Cedric trying to obstruct Natalie, their efforts would only expedite the unfolding events.
But if they didn’t intervene, it wouldn’t be long before Natalie learned the truth. She may even know in less than three days, given the capabilities of Clyde’s people
“Can we erase it?” Irwin pondered as he looked at Dylan
Dylan responded with a tinge of resignation, “Over the years, numerous individuals were privy to what
transpired.”
In other words, erasing all traces was not only a monumental task but likely impossible.
Moreover, Natalie had already initiated contact with Clyde’s people. So, attempting such a thing under their watchful eyes would only complicate matters further.
“So, are we to let her discover the truth?” Irwin’s voice dripped with growing frustration.
